Prayer for a Little Auburn Tiger ***Updated***

  • bamafan70 said...

    Let me preface this by saying I'm a hypocrite and most likely even worse. I'm not a very spiritual person at all. I even complain to myself when I see a prayer thread on here. This isn't the forum for that type of stuff I'd always tell myself. I apologize to anyone that's asked for the kindness of a prayer only to have me bypass the thread without a second thought. Now I'm here ashamed, humbled and apologetic. I'm very sorry.

    With that said, I'd like to ask anyone that sees this to say a prayer for my 6 year old nephew Walker and his family. He's in ICU at Children's awaiting surgery. He has had occasional headaches recently and his eyes started to cross yesterday. They went in today for some test and the doctors found a golf ball size mass at the base of his brain, on the stem. As long as they get some more of the test results back that they need he'll have the surgery tomorrow.

    Thank you very much

    Update
    *********************************************************************************************************************
    Walker is out of surgery now. He was in for about 5 hours today. The surgeon said he got 99% of it out and that it went well. He said he anticipates him needing chemotherapy once the test results come back. I'm not sure why they did this but they woke him up right after the surgery. I assume it was so they could make him wiggle his fingers and toes & maybe to check his eyes. They will do another MRI tomorrow to verify that they got everything out that they could. After that we have to wait about 5 days for the test results. Then they will proceed with further treatment if needed. 

    Thanks to each and every one of you who have posted in or viewed this thread.Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement. I promise you the family & friends appreciate it more than you know. As for me, I don't know anything more to say except thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping Walker and his family in their time of need. I'm proud to be a part of this board.

    God is good all the time....

    Prayed for him and your family. So glad it is looking good.

  • My prayers are with Walker. This board really helped me and family when my son was born premature and almost lost his fight. Keep the faith my friend. I found mine on January 28 of this year.

    "Character" is doing the right thing when nobody is looking.

  • This isnt the forum for lots of things but they are still discussed but only prayer and spiritual matters are crirticized for it. Lots of people seem to have problems with faith and prayer when everything is going great. It's easy to put down others for their faith when you have your health, a good, job, family, and everything is going well. But when we face a crisis everyone starts looking for something to lean on, something stronger than themselves. After 9/11 every church in America was packed for 6 months. Then once we feel safe again, we forget God and go back to depending on ourselves.The good news is the grace of Jesus Christ and his free gift of salvation is available to anyone who will believe.

    The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
    Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

  • Prayers have been sent for Walker and his family. To OP, God doesn't close His ears, eyes, heart or arms to anyone willing to bring Him in. Go at your pace...

    God Bless

  • bamafan70, always remember there is never a bad place or bad time for prayer. I pray that your nephew will receive complete recovery and trust God to bring this about. A big RTR prayer for little Tiger.

  • I love hearing good news. I realize Walker isn't out of the woods yet, but this is a great start. Jesus is so awesome. I'll continue to pray.

  • He's in his own room now and awake. Everything related to the surgery was positive. They are waiting for the results from the labs. Should be around Tuesday. Then they'll decide how to proceed. On behalf of Walker and family, thanks again for asking and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.
